MAKING
6) Right on oven rack, place the potatoes and bake 50 to 60 minutes, or until they fork-tender or feel soft when squeezed.
7) Slash an X in top of each potato.
8) Then, using pot holder, hold the potato and squeeze ends so steam can escape and potato fluffs up.
9) Add a pat of butter to each; sprinkle with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Or top with sour cream and bacon or green onion.
